The center has recommended states to increase organ donation rates. The center asked states to track cases of brain stem death in intensive care patients. The center stated that due to their poor identification and certification, the rate of organ donation in Israel is at a low level. Let us tell you, the sole purpose of the consultation is to increase the organ donation rate in the country, which is less than one donor per million population.
It is necessary to identify cases of possible death in the brain stem.
Dr. Anil Kumar, director of the National Organ and Tissue Transplantation Organization (NOTTO), said in a letter to states that the organ donation rate in India continues to be low. The main reason for this is poor identification and verification of brain stem deaths (BSD). According to the Organ and Tissue Transplantation Act Humans, 1994, it is necessary to identify cases of possible brain death in the intensive care unit. In addition, the letter states that it is important to check whether he has undertaken the obligation to donate organs. If not, then let the family members know about organ donation according to the law.
Also place a display board of necessary requests in front of the department.
In the letter, Kumar said that display boards of necessary requests should also be installed in front of intensive care, emergency departments as well as other important departments. In the letter he said that I want your cooperation and support to raise the rate of organ donation in the country, so that self-reliance can be achieved in the field of deceased organ donation.
